You say "a free spyware nuker program" - Which one? Can't tell you how
effective it is if nobody knows what you are using.
discogail
actually a stolen version of Spybot's .....is written and distributed by a
known spyware manufacturer. Their 'twistedhumor.com' site distributes the
'wnad' software, which pops up adverts and sends browsing habits to their
site 'rankyou.com'.
They advertise Spyware Nuker through junk e-mail - it has in the past shown
you which files it thinks is Spyware but if you want to remove them you'll
have to fork over $30 to do it.....it often tags perfectly legitimate files
as spyware......
.....on the licence agreement (which is never actually presented to you
before or during installation), unless they've recently changed it, there
is a clause giving them permission to install any software they like,
including third party software, on your machine, silently, without consent
or warning.
Other than that..it's a fine program.
get the real deal. Tutorial and download links at

...Spybot targets Spyware Nuker..so you can use it to get rid of it...as
it's known to leave files behind after an uninstall.
